NVSS Complete Campus
Nyaka’s Vocational and Secondary School (NVSS) campus is complete! This has been a long and exciting journey that will affect student's lives for decades to come. This school was built to provide a high-quality education to students who graduated from Nyaka’s primary schools.
In 2013, Nyaka broke ground on the NVSS, and two years later NVSS opened in February 2015 to 50 Senior One students. Just three years after NVSS opened, Nyaka completed the construction of the Multipurpose Dining Hall and Kitchen. We’re excited for students to return to campus so they can enjoy core courses like physics and chemistry in their new physics and chemistry laboratory. This lab will help provide students with the tools and confidence they need to compete for jobs after graduation.
The most recent construction included a large fence around the Vocational Secondary School to ensure the safety of our students and faculty.
Thank you for making this dream a reality!

Nyaka’s Vocational and Secondary School campus is almost complete! In 2018, Nyaka completed the construction of the Multipurpose Dining Hall and Kitchen. Over the last two years, Nyaka has been working to finish our Chemistry and Physics laboratory. This laboratory will provide the equipment and space necessary for students to continue developing their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills with the necessary materials. These facilities will be particularly important as Nyaka’s Robotics Club hosts an annual robotics camp where students from all over the country have the opportunity to learn essential skills like electrical wiring, website design, and computer programming. This lab will help provide students with the tools and confidence they need to compete for jobs after graduation.
The most recent construction includes a large fence around the Vocational Secondary School. Our goal is to ensure all enrolled and visiting students feel safe when they’re on campus. Although students are home due to Uganda’s mandatory lockdown measures, we want our students to be excited about returning to school. The safety, health, and happiness of the students is always our first priority.
Thank you for helping to provide the right resources and facilities for Nyaka students to thrive!

Chemistry and Physics laboratory building update
By Katherine Yeagley | Africa Fellow

You are providing funds to build a Chemistry and Physics laboratory to complete the construction of Nyaka’s Vocational and Secondary School! These facilities will provide the equipment and space necessary for students to develop their practical skills and increase their knowledge in all matters STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Access to these facilities will set students up for success in secondary school and beyond.
With your continued support, students will continue learning and thriving and will have a competitive edge in Uganda’s crowded job market. Nyaka is already seen as a leader in technology and innovation-- we hosted our second annual Robotics Camp this year, giving 84 students from across the region the opportunity to learn essential skills like coding and website design. By expanding our STEM facilities, you are contributing to future camps and programming that will support even more students in the community!
When provided with the right resources and facilities, Nyaka students thrive. By continuing to fund the construction of these laboratories, YOU are ensuring that Nyaka students are receiving the best possible education. You are helping them to realize their full potential and to explore opportunities they might never have deemed possible. Thank you!
